Start with movement
The first two chapters introduce movement and close-range combat before you receive a gun. Keep progressing into Chapter 3 for your first firearm.

Use your own bindings if you have changed these controls.
Put the opening moves together
Jump and slide to keep moving through the early encounters, and use kicks while you have no gun. A kick can also extend your movement after a double jump.
Continue through the opening chapters instead of restarting to search for a missing starter weapon. The formal release’s opening differs from EP.0.
Next steps
Read when you get the first gun, then learn how Object808 and the eraser fit into combat. If menu controls refuse to respond, try the gamepad detection fix.
